Spray in Bedliners
This may have been asked before but can't seem to find it. I live in Texas and want to get a spray in bedlinen for my F250. Is the lineX product worth the extra cost? The hot sun here in Texas really does make them fade. Line x dealer said the there product won't fade at all. Thoughts?

I have used these folks on all three of my trucks since 2009 for the bed liner. Top notch quality - never had a cut or fade issue.

Line x seems to be very popular but I do not see as much of it in Canada. The after market spray they did is thicker and seems to hold up better in the cold.

Same here. The Ford sprayed liner looks very professional and the Ford logo is the finishing touch. With this said, I'm not saying that the Line X isn't top notch either. I had one of theirs a few trucks ago and it was top notch also. I just figured that Fords may be a little better since it is electronically sprayed in with a robot which would probably do a little better job in being uniformed across the whole bed. Time will tell.

Agreed. My local Ford dealer recommended not getting the factory spray in liner. They take all their trucks to a local shop and have them done.

I still like the Ford logo in the bed though!

Maybe someone can confirm...
I'm a Line-X guy.

There is a video on here on how Ford does their bed liners. They have a shop that does it right after truck leaves the line. They are done by a computer and quaility checked. I'll be damned if I know where the video was but it makes it very convincing to go with factory liner.

Yep, robotically sprayed by a company called Ground Effects.

The front Ford logo is a foam piece tacked in place and sprayed over.

I had a Rhino done on my Dodge and it "Lasted" 12 years. Over those years it slowly deteriorated. There may be a new compound used now(?), but, it held up pretty good all things considered. If I would have kept the truck, it would have needed a touch up spray. This time around, I had the Ford spray in. Great job. Slippery although to the point I need to strap items down with the Ford bed wall cleats to keep thing from sliding.

Line x here, it holds up well in the Alabama summer with minimal fading. Had it on my 01 and it was still in good condition when I got my 17. First stop on the way home from the dealer to get it on the schedule, did the same with my Mahindra mPact on the dump bed.
